Specivcation of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 6, 1910.

Application filed January 29, 1910. Serial No. 540,812.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARK F. RIGBY, a resident of Butler, in the countyof Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Condiment-Holders, of which the following is aspecication.

The object of this invention is to provide a. convenient and compacttwo-chamber condiment holder for salt and pepper, either of which may bedispensed without discharging the other.

The invention'consists in so constructing and assembling the parts as topresent a convenient and attractive article which may be manufactured atsmall cost and which will do the double duty for which it is designed inan efficient manner.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a longitudinal section of theimproved holder, and Fig. 2 is a similar view of the outer casing andend caps. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the inner chamber and its cap. l

Figs. 4 and 5 are end elevations.

Referring to the drawings, 2 designates a cylindrical outer shell orcasing adapted to rest on its side, and if round as here shown, may beformed with base 2. In the present adaptation, both ends of shell 2 areopen, eing provided with removable caps 3 and 1, formed with centralopenings 3 4, respectively, to receive the inner bottle-like chamber orcell 5. Caps 3 and I are flanged to embrace the extremities of shell 2as shown, and cap 3 is preferably countersunk. At the closed end of body5 is head or enlargement 6, shaped to fit the countersunk face of cap 3around opening 3, and body 5 is of suflicient length to project throughcap 4 with its end threaded externally to receive the perforated cap 7,with base 7 of the cap bearing against cap 4. By this means the severalparts are securely fastened together.

Chamber 5 -may be conveniently used for pepper and the larger' outerchamber formed by casing 2 for salt, and for dispensing the latter cap 3is preferably perforated around its upper portion, as indicated at 8, sothat when the holder is resting on the table or other support the saltwill not spill out. To insure so assembling these perforationsuppermost, the extremity the parts as to place of shell 2 may be formedwith an indentation 9 to receive lug l0 on the cap.

lVhen salt is being dispensed, the perforated discharge 7 of the pepperchamber is uppermost, while the reverse is true when the holder istipped to discharge pepper. The chamber-forming shells are preferablyglass though they may be formed of other material.

IVhile I have shown and described the invention in its preferredembodiment, the same may be varied Without departing from the spirit ofthe appended claims.

I claim:

l. A condiment holder consisting of two chamber-forming bodies onewithin the other, the outer body having openings through opposite walls,and an inner body secured in said openings.

2. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other,removable heads for the outer body formed with openings with the innerbody extending through said openings and holding the heads in place.

3. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other,removable heads for the outer body formed with openings with one of theheads perforated, the inner body extending through said openings andenlarged at one end to engage the outer surface of one of said heads,and a perforated cap secured to the other end of the. inner body andengaging the other head of the outer body.

4. A condiment holder comprising two bodies one within the other, aremovable head for one end of the outer body with an opening throughsaid head and through the opposite wall of the outer body, the innerbody extending through said openings with an enlargement at one endengaging the outer surface of said removable head, and a cap removablysecured to the opposite end of the inner body and engaging thecorresponding end of the outer body.

5. A condiment holder comprising a shelllike outer body, removable headstherefor formed with openings and withvone of said heads countersunk andperforated, and an inner bottle-like body extending through saidopenings with an enlargement at they closed end thereof engaging theouter surface of the countersunk head, and a perforated cap rsecured tothe op'pote end of the ing 2L perforated outlet at the end oppositebottle-like body and engaging the other the outer easing outlet. 10 headof the outer easing. In testimony whereof I affix my signature 6. Acondment holder comprising an in presence of two Witnesses.
